European Tribune - Comments - If Greenspan Was The Maestro, We're All Doomed

If Greenspan Was The Maestro, We're All Doomed | 24 comments (24 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Those of you residing in the rational parts of the world may not have been subjected to as much libertarian nonsense as we in the US.

The principal points are a variant of social darwinism combined with a disdain for helping the less fortunate. The economic conservatives hijacked the laissez-faire aspects and used it as cover for the present US kleptocracy.

Those interested in my rebuttal of the philosophical underpinings can find it here:

Re: Libertarianism (none / 0)

I was exposed to a fair share of in on Wikipedia, trying to convince a bunch of ignoramuses that the terms "libertarian" and "anarchist" had indeed been associated with left "libertarian socialism" for about 150 years, and that "libertarian socialism" is not Orwellian doublespeak. That led to one of my longest Wikipedia dry spell up to that point.

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
